I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Exodus 33. “The Lord replied, “’My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’  Then Moses said to Him, ‘If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that You are pleased with me and with Your people unless You go with us? What else will distinguish me and Your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?'” (Verses 14-16). How can people tell us apart? The Lord is with us. He should be seen in our actions, in our speech, in our daily lives. Moses’ end goal was not to be praised as the rescuer of Israel. Moses’ end goal was to have the world know that God went before them, that God cleared their path. That God rescues and saves. May that be our goal today as well. Let our light shine so that the world will see God.
